Hi Ramon, You could put this into your login.sql script if you have one. This will automatically take your login name and database and set your sqlprompt accordingly. col user_name new_value user_name col db_name new_value db_name select lower(user) user_name, ltrim(rtrim(lower(global_name))) db_name from global_name; set sqlprompt "&user_name@&db_name> " HTH Kev.
